Incredible footballer - wouldn’t be as underrated by opposition coaching teams as he is by commentators

Re: How good is Libba - I declare, he is an A grader
Remember when Lloydy said the Bombers shouldn't bother chasing Libba because he wouldn't get a game in their midfield? Yep, the bell-end actually said that.
There are only 2 players I've seen in 45 years of watching footy who might have Libba covered with cleaner hands in heavy traffic - Greg Williams and Sam Mitchell. Libba sits very comfortably in that company.

Re: How good is Libba - I declare, he is an A grader
He's got this Murali vibe about him where he's dominant but there are question marks on his handball action. His form and fitness are the best bellwether for our performances since 2015
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

There are two handballs he shoots out on Saturday night vs Port where honestly, I'm going ''yeah that's not a handball that's a flick or handoff'' but you gotta replay to see how *!*!*!*!ing quick he is with his handball game, its insane just how good he is and shooting off that quick handball that on a generic TV feed it looks like his just thrown it.

What’s he worth a season? A real jet.

His contract is growing by the week. I bet Sammy P wishes he could go back 6 months and extend Libba then.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

It’s curious we didn’t to be honest. Is it fear of another knee that stopped us?
I’ve always been a Libba fan and even in his average seasons felt he was better than many others.

Re: How good is Libba - I declare, he is an A grader
There might be a view that best results are going to be sourced by just letting him play and seeing how he goes.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Re: How good is Libba - I declare, he is an A grader
He has amazing hands.
Greg Williams was different. His hands were quick, but it was his vision and the way he used handball that made him so effective. He created space with his handballs, whilst Libba doesn't create space, but completely changes where the ball is. Its almost like the ball is teleported from the space it occupies into a completely different space on a completely different trajectory.

Ralphy says deal could be announced next week. Two years, possible trigger on a third.
